SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 728,586, dated May 19,1903. 4

Application filed May 27, 1902.

To a, whmn it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN LAWRE CE LAR- SON, a'citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resi dent of Butte, in the county of Silverbow and Stateof Montana, have invented a new and Improved Dresser, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates particularly to improvements in the arrangementof mirrors for dressers, the object being to so mount a plurality ofmirrors that their angle may be adjusted one mirror independently ofanother for so relatively adjusting that a person may at one timereceive the reflection from the front and sides or from the front,sides, and back.

I will describe a dresser embodying my invention and then point out thenovel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be'had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front perspective View of a dresser embodying myinvention. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are elevations of the difierent mirrors,Fig. 3 being a back View; and Fig.5 is a crosssection showing therelative normal position of the mirrors and indicating various adjustments.

The dresser comprises a base 1,'in which drawers 2 3 are arranged. Thefrontand rear sides of the base are parallel, but the sides are arrangedat an obtuse angle to the front and rear, as clearly indicated inFig. 1. 5 are extended upward from the corners at the front of the base,and at thecorners at the rear are posts 6 7. The posts 4 6 are connectedat the bottom by a base-bar 8 and at the top by a cross-bar 9. The posts6 and 7 are connected at the bottom by a base-bar 10 and at the top by abar 11, while the posts 5 and 7 are connected at the bottom by a basebar12 and at the top by a bar 13. The posts 6 and 7 with the bars 10 and 11form a main frame for the center mirror 14. The posts 4 and 6 with thecross-bars'8 and 9 form a main frame for a side mirror 15, and the posts5 and 7 with the bars 12 and 13 form a main frame for the side mirror16. While in nor- Serial No. 109,168. (No model.)

.mal position, it will be seen that the mirrors 15 and 16 are at anobtuse angle to the mirror 14. Therefore a person may receivethereflection from the front and partially at both sides. The mirror 14 isarranged to swing axially in its main frame, and to provide for suchswinging pintles 17 and 18 are arranged, respectively, at the top andbottom of the mirror-frame,these pintles engaging in socket members 1920, attached to the rear sides of the bars 11 and 10. The mirror 15 ismounted to swing outward from its main frame and also to swing axiallyto any desired angle with relation to the center mirror. As a supportfor the mirror 15 I employ a bracket 21, having swinging connection withthe post 4, and the mirror swings axially on this bracketthat is, themirror swings on a vertical bolt '22, passing through lugs on thebracket and through lugs on the rear side of the mirror, and theadjustments may be secured by means of a thumb-nut 23 on the bolt. Themirror 16 has a 'swinging'movement similar to that of the mirror 15, butalso is mounted for a longitudinal tilting movement. It is supported ona bracket 24, having swinging connection with the post 5. A bolt 25passes through logs on the bracket 24 and through lugs on a yoke 26,which is'mounted to swing on a bolt 27, passing through said yoke andthrough lugs on the rear side of the mirror 16. As this bolt 27 is atright angles to the bolt 25, it is obvious that while the mirror may beswung axially or on a horizontal plane it may be also swung to tilt itlongitudinally or vertically, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2.The bolt 25 is provided with a thumb-nut 28 for holding it as adjusted,and the bolt 27 is provided with a clampingnut 29 for the purpose ofholding the mirror in its tilted adjustment. Upon releasing the nut 29 aspring 30, which'extends from the yoke 26 and engages against the rearside of the mirror 16, will automatically move the mirror to itsvertical position. While I have stated, broadly, that these severalattachments are connected to the mirrors, it is of course to beunderstood that they are connected either to the mirror-frames or to thebackboards.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. In a dresser, a center fixed frame, stationary sideframes at an obtuse angle to the center frame, and mirrors in theframes, the center mirror being mounted to swing axially, one of theside mirrors being mounted to swing axially and also having a horizontalswinging motion, and the other side mirror being mounted to swingaxially, to swing in a horizontal plane and to tilt vertically.

2. A dresser comprising a base portion, posts extended upward from thefront of the base portion, posts extended upward from the rear of thebase portion, a mirror mounted to swing on vertical axes between therear posts, brackets mounted to swing on the front posts, and mirrorshaving swinging motion on said brackets, substantially as specified.

3. In a dresser, a base, posts extended upward from the front of thebase, posts extended upward from the rear of the base, a

center mirror mounted to swing between the rear posts on its verticalaxis, a bracket mounted to swing on one of the front posts, a mirrormounted to swing horizontally on said bracket, a bracket mounted toswing on the other of said front posts, and a mirror mounted to swing ona horizontal plane on said bracket, also mounted to swing on ahorizontally-disposed pivot carried by the bracket, and also having alongitudinal tilting movement, substantially. as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
